The Ingram Olkin Fund

NISS is creating a series of Forums, named in memory of Ingram Olkin, under the broad theme of Statistics Serving Society (S3). The first forum is scheduled for June 26-27, 2019 to engage statisticians in research with criminologists and sociologists to better understand the current public health crisis related to gun violence. The forum will review data sources available, discuss research to understand recent trends, evaluate current initiatives, explore whether current laws are adequate to provide public safety and consider new research to test whether open carry provides the protection claimed. To support these Statistics Serving Society (S3) forums, please indicate the Ingram Olkin Fund on your check or credit card memo line.
